Ive been trying to make a healer annoyance kind of build and i came up with this ranger/mesmer, i think it can help take out one or two healers quick and then focus on all other spellcasters.. or maybe not lol tell me what u think

Arcane Conundrum
Echo {E}
Debilitating Shot
Tiger's Fury
Distracting Shot
Concussion Shot
Frozen Soil
Savage Shot/Choking Gas ...not shure here yet...

if you wawnt to piss off healers, try to do a natures renewal ranger.. just make sure it isnt a pug and that the ppl i ur team know that u r doing nature renewall. Also bring oath shot since when the other team see u r nr ranger, they will distract or diverson u then just use oath shot to be back and cast it again.

And if the healer has more than just enchantment based healing spells, your NR isn't as good as it could have been.

One person mentioned using...

Incendiary Arrows {E}
Fragility
Tiger's Fury

THAT'S how you annoy a healer.

@yukito
No, thats how you kill target noob, regardless of class. Any class, particularly monks, are capable of beating that combo.

@OP
Echo/Debil is a very good caster annoyance setup. Or you could go practiced stance/choking gas for different style but similar effect.

wow nice :| i hadn't tought of that before, actually i think i like that idea better, what other skill do u think would complement that build best?

practiced stance
choking gas
debilitating
distracting shot
rez

those seem like the basic options, not sure what else to fit in

mmm now that i come to think of it, in order to interrupt a spell with gas u have to actually hit ur target with an arrow in order to interrupt yes? the gas itself wont do it alone i think, so with practiced stance tigers fury isnt worth anymore neither is lightning reflexes, so is it worth it? i mean u wont be gettin that many shots per second i think

Find an elementalist and target him raegardless of what your team is doing. He will be nearly useless, cus Im sure you can hit him at least once during his cast time unless he uses a really fast spell. If it looks like you may miss an important one, distracting shot is good insurance policy. As long as you keep targeting him, he will be nearly usesless to his team, and you will be doing *some* damage. Basically you are turning a 4v4 into a 3.5 v 3.

If there is no ele then you can try and do something similar to a necro or monk, but they dont cast so many long spells so it wont be as effective. Using a short bow for fast firing speed is helpful. Practiced Stance and Choking gas take up your elite, your prep, and your stance, so there not much more creative stuff you can do in the build except spirit spam and arrow shots.

Ive been out of the PvP picture for a bit and hadnt realised yet how natures renewal is so overpowered today. I think this build would be good to have it actually since it basicly concentrates on just choking the target and little more, it has time to lay down that spirit aswell... altho i have no idea how nature renewal builds are im thinking about this skill layout:

Oath Shot {E}
Choking Gas
Tiger's Fury
Pin Down
Natures Renewal
Quickning Zephyr
Serpent's Quickness
Rez

I believe QZ and SQ stack yes? if not then they arent worth using together and i might take out serpent for something else, perhaps Fertile season? Not sure...
I would apreciate a nature renewal user to give me a hand here im not very experienced with it
